Systematic profiling of DNMT3A variants reveals protein instability mediated by the DCAF8 E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor

ABSTRACT: Clonal hematopoiesis is a prevalent age-related condition associated with greatly increased risk of hematologic malignancies. Mutations in DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) are the most common drivers of this state and contribute to multiple types of hematologic malignancy. DNMT3A variants occur across the gene and some are associated with particular disease states, but the functional relevance and mechanisms of pathogenesis of the majority of the mutations is unknown. Here, we systematically investigated the methyltransferase activity and protein stability of 253 disease-associated DNMT3A mutations, finding that 74% were loss-of-function mutations. Nearly half of these variants exhibited reduced protein stability and, as a class, correlated with greater clonal expansion and AML development. To identify the mechanisms underlying the instability, we conducted a CRISPR screen and uncovered regulated destruction of DNMT3A mediated by the DCAF8 E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor. We establish a new paradigm to classify novel variants that has prognostic and therapeutic significance for patients with hematologic disease.

Targeting of DNMT3A hotspot mutations in Clonal Hematopoiesis and Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Somatic mutations in DNA Methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) with a hotspot in exon 23 at Arginine 882 (DNMT3AR882mut) are the most frequent single mutations in clonal hematopoiesis. Here we analyze the expression of genes and endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences in a murine model carrying human DNMT3A-R882H mutation in one allele of the endogenous DNMT3A with respect to normal condition and azacitidine treatment.

Metallothionein 1 (Mt1) Regulates Growth and Survival of DNMT3A;NPM1-Mutant Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy with poor prognosis, commonly driven by mutations in genes including the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A and nucleophosmin NPM1. We previously generated sequentially inducible mouse models of these mutations and observed transformation from clonal hematopoiesis (CH) to myeloproliferative disorder to AML. In transformed AML, leukemia-propagating cells have a myeloid-restricted progenitor cell phenotype (c-Kit+). Here, to identify mechanisms that sustain tumorigenesis, we performed single-cell RNA-seq of c-Kit+ cells from four primary Dnmt3a;Npm1-mutant AML samples. The most primitive subset of c-Kit+ cells, a multipotent progenitor population Multi-Lin-2, had increased expression of the antioxidant and heavy metal chelator metallothionein 1 (Mt1) in all AML samples. Cas9-mediated Mt1 knockout in primary Dnmt3a;Npm1-mutant AML resulted in reduced cell cycling and proliferation and increased pyroptosis in vitro and increased overall survival following transplant into congenic recipient mice.

Analysis of de novo methylation in mouse embryonic stem cells mediated by Dnmt3a2 PWWP domain variants

Project description:DNA methylation is critical for regulating gene expression, necessitating its accurate placement by enzymes such as the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A. Dysregulating this process is known to cause aberrant development and oncogenesis, yet how DNMT3A function is shaped holistically by its three domains remains challenging to study. Through in situ mutational scanning, we found mutations in the PWWP domain, a histone reader, that modulate enzyme activity by affecting DNA binding, despite preserving histone recognition and protein stability. To investigate the consequences of these mutations on DNMT3A function in cells, we expressed ectopic Dnmt3a2 variants in embryonic stem cells and used reduced representation bisulfite sequencing and histone modification ChIP-seq to study the resulting patterns of de novo DNA methylation. Our data show that PWWP domain DNA affinity is required for full activity in cells and constitutes a noncanonical function of the PWWP domain.

Influence of Dnmt3a knockout on gene expression of preleukemia B cell and CLL cells

Project description:Although somatic mutations in the DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are rare, DNMT3A transcript and protein expression is frequently reduced in CLL patients, and previous studies have associated low DNMT3A expression with more aggressive disease and poorer survival.

Distinct disease mutations in DNMT3A result in a spectrum of behavioral, epigenetic, and transcriptional disruptions

Project description:Phenotypic heterogeneity in monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders can arise from differential severity of variants underlying disease, but how distinct alleles drive variable disease presentation is not well understood. Here, we investigate missense mutations in DNMT3A, a DNA methyltransferase associated with overgrowth, intellectual disability, and autism, to uncover molecular correlates of phenotypic heterogeneity. We generate a DNMT3A P900L/+ mouse mimicking a mutation with mild-to-moderate severity, and compare phenotypic and epigenomic effects with a severe R878H mutation. P900L mutants exhibit core growth and behavioral phenotypes shared across models but show subtle epigenomic changes, while R878H mutants display extensive disruptions. We identify mutation-specific dysregulated genes which may contribute to variable disease severity. Shared transcriptomic disruption identified across mutations overlaps dysregulation observed in other developmental disorder models and likely drives common phenotypes. Together, our findings define central drivers of DNMT3A disorders and illustrate how variable epigenomic disruption contributes to phenotypic heterogeneity in neurodevelopmental disease.

DNMT3A clonal hematopoiesis-driver mutations induce cardiac fibrosis by paracrine activation of fibroblasts

Project description:Hematopoietic mutations in epigenetic regulators like DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha (DNMT3A) drive clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and are associated with adverse prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). The interactions between CHIP-mutated cells and other cardiac cell types remain unknown. Here, we identify fibroblasts as potential interaction partners of CHIP-mutated monocytes using combined transcriptomic data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of HF patients with and without CHIP and cardiac tissue. We demonstrate that DNMT3A inactivation augments macrophage-to-cardiac fibroblasts interactions and induces cardiac fibrosis in mice and humans. Mechanistically, DNMT3A inactivation increases the release of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like growth factor (HB-EGF) to activate cardiac fibroblasts. These findings not only identify a novel pathway of DNMT3A CHIP-driver mutation-induced instigation and progression of HF, but may also provide a rationale for the development of new anti-fibrotic strategies.

DNMT3A haploinsufficiency results in behavioral deficits and global epigenomic dysregulation shared across neurodevelopment disorders [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Mutations in DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) have been detected in autism and related disorders, but how these mutations disrupt nervous system function is unknown. Here we define the effects of neurodevelopmental disease-associated DNMT3A mutations. We show that diverse mutations affect different aspects of protein activity yet lead to shared deficiencies in neuronal DNA methylation. Heterozygous DNMT3A knockout mice mimicking DNMT3A disruption in disease display growth and behavioral alterations consistent with human phenotypes. Strikingly, in these mice we detect global disruption of neuron-enriched non-CG DNA methylation, a binding site for the Rett syndrome protein MeCP2. Loss of this methylation leads to enhancer and gene dysregulation that overlaps with models of Rett syndrome and autism. These findings define effects of DNMT3A haploinsufficiency in the brain and uncover disruption of the non-CG methylation pathway as a convergence point across neurodevelopmental disorders.

DNMT3A haploinsufficiency causes dichotomous DNA methylation defects at enhancers in mature human immune cells [csRNA-seq]

Project description:DNMT3A encodes an enzyme that carries out de novo DNA methylation, which is essential for the acquisition of cellular identity and specialized functions during cellular differentiation. It is the most common driver gene of age-related clonal hematopoiesis. As such, mature immune cells harboring DNMT3A mutations can be readily detected in elderly individuals. Most acquired DNMT3A mutations are heterozygous and predicted to cause loss-of-function, indicating that haploinsufficiency is the predominant pathogenic mechanism. Yet, whether and how DNMT3A haploinsufficiency affects the function of mature immune cells is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that DNMT3A haploinsufficiency impairs the gain of DNA methylation at decommissioned enhancers, while simultaneously and unexpectedly impairs DNA demethylation at thousands of newly activated enhancers in mature human myeloid cells. The DNA methylation defects alter the activity of affected enhancers, leading to abnormal gene expression and impaired immune response. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of immune dysfunction associated with acquired DNMT3A mutations and clonal hematopoiesis.
